David vs Goliath: Worldwide Coastal Communities vs Industrial Fish Farms

Independent journalist Francesco De Augustinis explores the impact of the Area of Industrial Development of Aquaculture planned for Aetolia-Akarnania in Western Greece, where fish cages will occupy 100 hectares and another 100 hectares will be used for other activities. Inhabitants of the islands and villages protest against the fish farms and any further expansion project. In the past ten years they have watched their sea become contaminated and poor in natural resources. The industrial fisheries at Western Greece have also had an impact on Posidonia meadows, which is now absent or very deteriorated.
